GENERAL FIREARMS CAUTIONS

I. Always handle your firearm as if it were loaded, so that you never fire it accidentally when you think it is unloaded.

2. Never point your firearm at anythingyou do not intend to shoot, so that if you fire. accidentally, injury, death, or damage to property will be prevented.

3. Never take anyone's word that a firearrn is unloaded: check for yourself, with fingers off the trigger and barrel pointed in a safe direction. so that you never fire the gun accidentally when you think it is unloaded.

4. Always make sure your firearm is not loaded and the bolt is latched open before laying it down, or handing it to another person, so that it cannot be fired when it is unsafe to do so.

5. Always keep and carry your firearm empty and uncocked except when you intend to shoot, so that it cannot be fired when you do not mean to fire it.

6. Always be aware of possible risk from dropping your firearm. Some parts of the mechanismcould be damag­ed. You may not see the damage but if it is severe, the firearm maydischarge and cause injury, death or damage to property. If your firearm has been dropped, examine it completely before using it again.

7. Never leave your firearm cocked ready to fire as this condition is extremely dangerous, and the firearm could easily be accidentally discharged, causing injury, death, or damage to property.

10

LOADING CAUTIONS

8. Always be sure the barrel bore, chamber and action are clean and clear of obstructions. Clean a fouled firearm immediately, so that it will function correctly and safely.

9. Use only clean, dry, original high quality commercially manufactured ammunition in good condition which is appropriate to the caliber of your firearm. Gun and ammunition manufacturers design their products within exacting engineering safety limits. However, improperly stored, dirty ammunition and hand reloaded ammuni­tion may not function properly in this firearm, possibly, causing subsequent injury, death, or property damage.

MALFUNCTION CAUTIONS ~

10. Failure to fire: Always hold the firearm pointed towards the target or a safe open area and wait 30 seconds if it fails to fire. If hangfire (slow ignition) has occurred, the round will fire within 30 seconds. If it does not fire, remove the magazine, eject the round and examine the primer; if the firing pin indent on the primer is light, off center, or non-existent, have the firearm examined by your armorer. If the firing pin indent on primer appears normal (in comparison with similar previously fired rounds) assume faulty ammuniton; segregate misfired rounds from other live ammunition and empty cases, reload and carryon firing.

II. Never use your firearm if it fails to function properly, and never force a jammed action, as a round may explode causing serious injury, or severe damage to your firearm.

11

12

CLEANING AND STORAGE CAUTIONS ~

12. Always make sure your firearm is not loaded before cleaning and storing so that it cannot be fired when it is unsafe to do so.

WARNING

If a noticeable difference in sound or recoil is experienced, STOP FIRING. Either condition could indicate an incomplete powder burn. Retract bolt slowly and remove fired cartridge case. Clear weapon and check for un­burned powder grains in the receiver or bore and for a bullet stuck in the bore. Remove unburned powder or bullet from bore before resuming firing. If bullet is stuck in bore, return the firearm to the armorer.

IMMEDIATE ACTION AND TROUBLE SHOOTING

A failure to fire, including one caused by an empty Magazine, may be corrected by taking immediate action. Remove Magazine and wait 3 seconds with Barrel pointing in a safe direction, then inspect Magazine.

MAGAZINE EMPTY

a. Cock to remove possible last round. InspectChamber and if empty, attach full Magazine, recock and continue firing.

FEATURES

Calico Semi Automatic Firearms are unique for several reasons:

1) Magazine capacity of 50 to 100 rounds. 2) Magazine can be stored loaded without spring fatigue. 3) Pistol grip backstrap is directly behind bolt to minimize muzzle climb. 4) Cartridge cases eject straight down. 5) Ambidextrous safety. 6) Lightweight, even when loaded with 100 rounds. 7) All operational features can be manipulated without releasing pistol grip. 8) Magazine location provides superior balance and permits low operator profile.

CALICO SEMI AUTOMATIC FEATURES & SPECIFICATIONS

MAGAZINE

Calico helical magazines are unique in their design and function, and offer advantages of increased capacity, compactness, streamlining and balance. The 'helical feed' magazine necessarily has more parts than a conven­tional column-type magazine, and must be properly handled and serviced to assure safe and consistent shooting.

HOW IT WORKS

Calico magazines contain 50 or 100 rounds laying end-to-end in two layers around the CARTRIDGE CAR­RIER. The rounds are separated by a helical rib which is molded into the OUTER SHELL. The DRIVE SPRING rotates the driver, which propels the rounds along the helical 'path' in the outer shell. The energy stored by the Drive Spring is controlled by the CLUTCH ASSEMBLY. The FOLLOWER pushes the last round into the FEED LIPS and the TORQUE ROD prevents the spring from 'kinking' or being released when the Magazine is installed.

THE CALICO 9MM BOLT

The Bolt is a retarded-blowback CETME type, which allows a minimum bolt mass without the violent recoil of a straight blowback action. When the Bolt is 'in battery' , or all the way forward, the Rollers carried by the floating Bolt head are wedged out by the spring-driven Bolt body. The Rollers stop against the angled face of steel inserts in the Receiver t and when a cartridge is fired the gas pressure forces the Rollers against the inserts. The Rollers are pinched together against the wedge of the Bolt body, until they can fit between the inserts, and then the whole Bolt recoils backward against the Return Spring. The CETME style Bolt is light, smooth, and safe; the Firing Pin cannot strike the Cartridge Primer unless the Bolt is 'in battery'.

RELEASING THE MAGAZINE CLUTCH

OPERATION

LOADING/UNLOADING MAGAZINE

The Helical-Feed Magazine can be loaded through the Feed Lip, one round at a time like every other Magazine. Loading 50 or 100 rounds may seem tedious, and an efficient Speedloader is available. Also, the CALICO Magazine is equipped with a Spring Release, so the rounds may be inserted into the Magazine with NO SPRING RESISTANCE.

To load the Magazine, first release any spring tension by pushing the Spring Release Button in the center of the Winder. Then turn the Winder just enough to make the Follower visible in the Feed Lips. Load one round by pushing the round down against the Follower until it snaps under the Feed Lips. Repeat the procedure until the Magazine is fully loaded. It will be helpful to push the Spring Release Button 2 or 3 times while loading, as the tension buildup will somewhat hamper the loading process. After loading 50 or 100 rounds into the Magazine, release all tension. Thrn the Winder 10 complete turns for 50 rounds, and 23 complete turns for 100 rounds.

23

24

CHARGING THE MAGAZINE

CAUTION: DO NOT OVERWIND THE MAGAZINE. 10 COMPLETE TURNS FOR 50 ROUNDS. 23 TURNS FOR 100

Although the Drive Spring is designed to survive overwind, overwinding may damage the Spring and will significantly increase the force necessary to strip a round from the Feed Lips. If the rotation of the Cartridge Carrier seems sluggish, or if the rounds fail to feed properly, it is most likely due to excessive fouling in the Magazine. Use only CLEAN factory ammunition for best results.

To unload the Magazine, push down on the metal Feed Lip. Use your thumbnail, a small stick or other safe blunt tool to push the lip.

NOTE: Depressing clutch button when magazine is partially loaded may cause ammunition to tumble. in this event empty magazine and reload. I

26 REMOVING THE MAGAZINE INSTALLING THE MAGAZINE

INSTALLING/REMOVING MAGAZINE

Calico Magazines are quite simple to attach to the Receiver, and with a little practice the Magazines can be changed as rapidly as any magazine-fed firearm. To remove the Magazine simply place the palm of your hand over the rear portion of the Magazine and squeeze the two Magazine Latches together, as shown. A Flat Spring on the bottom of the Magazine will push the Magazine clear of the Latches and into your hand. The 50 and 100 round Magazines operate identically.

To attach the Magazine, simply place it in the Cradle of the Receiver, firmly forward so that the Pin on the Bulkhead fits into the Socket in the front of the Magazine. Press firmly. down on the rear of the Magazine until the Latches snap in place. The Magazine will remain firmly fixed to the Receiver even if only one Latch is engaged, but check to make certain that both Latches are engaged in the Magazine. NOTE: The Magazine can be attached with the Bolt forward or back.

NOTE: The Magazine Clutch must be engaged, so the Magazine Rod does not protrude excessively at the front, in order to install the Magazine.

COCKING AND FIRING

With the Magazine attached, the firearm is charged by simply pulling sharply back on the Bolt Handle until it stops, and then releasing it. As the Bolt Springs forward it strips a round out of the magazine Feed Lip and puts it in the Chamber.

If a round jams while feeding, pull the Bolt Handle back, and push in the Bolt Stop to lock it back. Hold the firearm with the Ejection Port down and shake the round out. If the round is damaged in any way, discard it in a safe place.

TO FIRE:

I. Be sure you are familiar with all the safety instructions in this manual. 2. Load a charged Magazine, attach it to the firearm, and chamber a round as described.

3. Graspthefireannby thePistolGripand withindexfinger alongtheoutside of theTriggerGuard,takeaim. Aim byaligning Frontand RearSights.

If Firing Pin indent on Primer is light or non-existent, examine your firearm carefully. Fieldstrip and clean if necessary. Return the firearm to CALICO for repair if situation repeats.

If the Firing Pin indent on the Primer appears normal, assume faulty ammunition. Segregate misfired rounds from other live ammunition. Reload and resume firing.

8. Keep the firearm pointed in a safe direction and unload as previously described. If you cock your firearm but do not fire, apply Safety until ready to fire. Remember, if there is a round in the Chamber, there is a risk of accidental discharge.

CAUTION: NEVER LEAVE YOUR FIREARM COCKED READY TO FIRE. TO DO SO IS EX.: TREMEL Y DANGEROUS AND THE FIREARM COULD BE ACCIDENTALL Y DISCHARGED\ CAUSING INJURY OR DEATH. SAFETY DEPENDS ON YOU.

ADJUSTING SIGHTS

Your CALICO is equipped witha quickly adjustable Front Sight and Rear Flip-Sight. A Set Screw behind the Front Sight locks it in place. It must be loosened to adjust the sights. Spring-Loaded Detents keep the Sight Knobs in place until thy are turned by hand. Each click of the Left Sight Knob changes the impact point of

. the bullet approximately 2 inches in elevation at 100yards. Similarly, each click of the Right Sight Knob changes the impact point approximately 1/4 inch in windage. Arrows next to the Sight Knobs indicate direction of impact point. A proper Sight picture is necessary to shoot accurately.

EXTENDING AND COLLAPSING THE BUTTSTOCK

Calico SMGS have a sliding and semi-fixed Buttstock, which latches in both the collapsed and two extended positions depending on which magazine is utilized. To extend the Buttstock, grasp the firearms' Pistol Grip with your right hand, depress the Buttstock Latch with your left index finger and pull straight back on the butt­stock with your left hand until the Buttstock is fully extended. The Latch will automatically engage at full exten­

. sion. To collapse the Buttstock, hold the firearm normally, depress the Latch and pull the firearm straight back with the buttstock against your chest until it automatically latches in the fully collapsed position. Left-handed shooters can operate the Buttstock in a similar manner by unlatching the stock with the blade of their right hand and pulling the butt straight back with their right hand. The buttstock will lock open in one of two positions. The short, or first position, is for shooting with 50 round magazines, while the 2nd and long position is for shooting 100 round magazines.

FIELD STRIP

First, remove the Magazine and open the Bolt to make sure the firearm is not loaded,then push the Safety forward and pull the Trigger. Pull the Retaining Pin at the rear of the Forend completely out (don't lose it), and then slide the Pistol Grip straight back until it is free. It should be snug so gentle tapping may be necessary. If it sticks solid, don't force it - push it forward and repeat the procedure. Then remove the Bolt Assembly, pushing with your index finger through the top of the Cartridge Port in the Receiver. The retaining pin may be temporarily stored in its barrel shroud hole after the pistol grip has been removed.

38

REMOVING THE BOLT

The Bolt, Striker, Return Springs and Buffer Plate come out as a unit, with no loose parts. They can be separated by pulling the notched ends of the Return Spring Rods out of the slots in the Buffer Plate as pictured. Don't take the Bolt Assembly apart unless it is necessary: re-assembling the Bolt Assembly is awkward because you must pull the springs back and push the Spring Rod forward at the same time to lock the Rod Ends into the Buffer Plate.

NOTE: Before reassembly check to insure that both locking rollers .are in place.

To re-assemble, first hold the Bolt Assembly parallel to the Receiver and push straight in, making sure the bot­tom edge of the Buffer Plate is flush with the bottom edge of the Receiver. SIide the PistolGrip onto the Receiver until it stops, then insert the Retaining Pin to lock everything together. Cock the Bolt back and dry fire to make certain it functions properly.

DISASSEMBLY OF BOLT

o

DIS-ASSEMBLY OF 1\1AGAZINI~

The CALICO magazine is durable and reliable, but like all magazines it can become fouled by accumulations of combustion residue, and it must occasionally be disassembled for cleaning. BEFORE DISASSEMBLING THE MAGAZINE MAKE SURE IT IS EMPTY. Remove the Magazine and look to see that the Follower is visible in the Feed Lips, then release any energy stored in the Drive Spring by pushing the Spring Release But­ton in 'the center of the Winder at the back of the Magazine. Grasp the Magazine in both hands as shown and push top Ribbon Clamp forward with your thumbs, about 1/2 inch only. When you feel the dovetail segments of the Ribbon Clamp and Magazine Shells unlock, lift the Ribbon Clamp off and set it aside. Gently pry the Magazine Shell halves open like a clam, making sure the Front End Cap, Cartridge Carrier, and Winder stay on one side, until the Bottom Ribbon Clamp is loose and the halves are free. Remove the Front End Cap, Car­tridge Carrier and Winder Assembly from the Shell half, making sure not to lose the Follower. Do not disassemble the Winder Assembly; the small clutch rollers inside are easily lost. If it is not functioning properly return it to CALICO for repair or replacement.

NOTE: The numbers beside the windows on top of the Magazine indicate the minimum number of rounds left in the Magazine.

CARE AND CLEANING

GENERAL

A thorough knowledge of how to service and handle firearms is of great importance. Experience has shown that most failures which occur while operating a firearm arc due to negligence in maintenance. Special attention must be paid to cleaning, lubricating and inspecting the firearm; this may determine whether or not it will func­tion properly when you need it. In order to maintain accuracy t the Barrel must be serviced thoroughly. The Receiver t the Bolt Assembly and other moving parts of the firearm must be kept clean and lightly lubricated to ensure proper operation. Care and cleaning includes the Magazine, which must be kept free from wax, grit. etc., in order to function properly.

INITIAL CLEANING I. Upon the receipt of your CALICO, disassemble and inspect. (see instructions) 2. Clean as per Periodic Maintenance Procedure. 3. Any waxy deposits or dirt may be removed using very light rust preventative oils. After cleaning, wipe dry

and lightly coat with gun oil. 4. Never use abrasive or metallic objects, synthetic cloth, dry cleaning fluids, detergents, acids, lyes, water

or steam. 5. Reassemble and make sure of proper functioning of firearm, including Safeties. 6. Observe all safety precautions previously listed in this book.

PERIODIC MAINTENANCE I. Disassemble the firearm. Clean all disassembled parts as explained. Remove all foreign matter or dirt using gun oil and gun cleaning equipment made for firearms.

CAUTION: MAKE SURE YOUR FIREARM IS EMPTY BEFORE CLEANING. SAFETY DEPENDS ON YOU.

51

52

2. Clean the Barrel Bore and Chamber: use a metal bore brush first, then a cloth patch. Continue until patches come out clean. After cleaning, lightly lubricate the Bore and Chamber with a patch dipped in lubricant to pre­vent corrosion and pitting. .

3. Clean exterior and interior surfaces of all subassemblies. Then wipe all metal surfaces with a lightly oiled patch or rag. Pay particular attention to all parts of the firing mechanism.

4. While cleaning, the following inspection must be carried out: a. Examine the Bore and Chamber visually and make sure it is free of rust, pitting and metal fouling, and

that the Barrel has not been damaged. b. Check that all disassembled parts are serviceable and none are missing. c. Check the action mechanism in the Pistol Grip for dirt or grit, loose parts. or excessive wear. d. Inspect the firing pin visually to make sure that it is undamaged. e. Inspect Extractor visually and make sure it is not clogged or damaged.

CAUTION: MAKE SURE YOUR FIREARM IS EMPTY BEFORE CLEANING. SAFETY DEPENDS ON YOU.

5. Assemble the firearm. 6. Afterassembly, checkthefollowing:

a. Makesurethe Chamber is empty, pointbarrel in safedirection. b. Cockand dry fire at leasttwiceto makesurethatthe mechanism is working smoothly and properly. c. Cock'the firearm,move Safety Leverto Safety position, squeeze trigger to makesureSafety isworking properly.

Return Safety Leverto flreposition anddry fire. d. Check sights andall exterior partsof thefirearm to makesurethattheyare undamaged andserviceable.

CAUTION: MAKE SURE YOUR FIREARM IS EMPTY BEFORE CLEANING. SAFETY DEPENDS ON YOU.

53

54

7. It is imperative that the Magazines be given the best care and kept in perfect condition. They should be disassembled and cleaned with mineral oil or other mild cleaning agent. Make sure all build-up of fouling is removed. Check-that the spring-loaded feed lip does not stick.

CLEANING BEFORE FIRING

1. Disassemble the firearm. 2. Run clean patches through Bore and Chamber to remove all dust and oil. There should be no dirt in Bore and

Chamber before firing as this may cause dangerous pressures to develop. 3. Check that all moving parts are lightly oiled. 4. Assemble the firearm and check functioning

CAUTION: MAKE SURE YOUR FIREARM IS EMPTY BEFORE CLEANING. SAFETY DEPENDS ON YOU.

CLEANING AFfER FIRING

I. The firearm should be cleaned the same day, if possible, on which it was fired to prevent corrosion and caking of deposits. Some ammuniton is very corrosive. 2. Follow proceduresof periodic maintenance and pay particular attention to all parts which have been in con­tact with powder gases.

a. Barrel - In order to remove heavy deposits, use cleaning brush. Make sure the brush goes all the way through the Bore before reversing the direction. Depositsthat cannot be readily removed with the brush may be treated by coating Bore and Chamber with good quality bore cleaning fluid and repeat the above procedure. The Barrel should be cleaned and reoiled, at least once after firing.

b. Bolt - Remove all powder residues from Bolt. If necessary, use a stiff nylon brush or tooth brush. Clean and lightly oil all parts of Bolt Mechanism.

c. Receiver - Wipe off any heavy deposits in interior and oil lightly. d. Magazine - Make sure Magazines are clean and Follower moves freely.
